TL;DR: Patient engagement in healthcare research is likely feasible in many settings but can become tokenistic and research dedicated to identifying the best methods to achieve engagement is lacking and clearly needed.

TL;DR: It is suggested that when clinicians institute T therapy, they aim at achieving T concentrations in the mid-normal range during treatment with any of the approved formulations, taking into consideration patient preference, pharmacokinetics, formulation-specific adverse effects, treatment burden, and cost.

TL;DR: This article addresses GRADE's approach to determining the direction and strength of a recommendation, which describes the balance of desirable and undesirable outcomes of interest among alternative management strategies depending on four domains, namely estimates of effect for desirable and desirable outcomes ofinterest, confidence in the estimates ofEffect, estimates of values and preferences, and resource use.

TL;DR: Tested interventions are effective at reducing readmissions, but more effective interventions are complex and support patient capacity for self-care.

TL;DR: There is growing attention towards increasing patient and service user engagement in biomedical and health services research, but existing variations in language and design inhibit reporting and indexing, which are crucial to comparative effectiveness in determining best practices.
